In our research, we studied the specificity of formation of the water quality in water sources with a limited debit in the lake Staroe, located in the southern part of the West Siberian Plain, and in the river Malaya Karla, located in the Republic of Kazan in Russia. We carried out a study of the efficacy of detention of phytoplankton, contained in the initial raw water on a floating filter with expanded polystyrene (EPS) bed. We developed three technological models, which provide the removal of algae by using a floating filter with further coagulation of the remaining suspended substances for processing of the raw water from the low power surface sources. The application of the proposed water pretreatment technologies from the low power sources can significantly reduce the problem of the drinking water supply to the small populated areas in different climatic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
